At night, with the moon hanging high and the cool breeze bringing coolness, the courtyard of Nianxue Pavilion was extremely lively. In front of the courtyard door were two little maids kneeling, both looking at the ground with lowered eyebrows, motionless.
No matter how Hong Shao lectured them in front of them, the two little palace maids had no reaction, and they also didn't give a response. The angry Hong Shao asked the guards outside Nianxue Pavilion to pull the two little palace ladies away.
"What's going on?" As soon as they returned to Nianxue Pavilion, Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also saw this scene and stepped forward to ask Hongshao.
One of the two palace maids who were pulled away looked familiar. She was the personal maid beside Lian Yue. However, it was already night, so why was she kneeling outside Nianxue Pavilion?
Hong Shao had an angry look on her face and said in a very humble tone: "Replying to your Majesty, after they dispersed from the banquet, they came and knelt outside the courtyard, saying that Concubine Chen was frightened and unconscious, and asked the emperor to visit her.
The servants told them that the emperor was not in Nianxue Pavilion, but they refused to believe it. They insisted on kneeling here and could not drive them away no matter how hard they tried. The servants could only ask the big guards to take them away!"
Mu Tianxue frowned and turned to look at Long Chenyi. Seeing that he walked towards the yard without saying a word and expressionless, she shrugged nonchalantly, "I was just a little frightened.
Skin peeling, is this an exaggeration? You’re still unconscious!!”
As she said that, she shook her head, opened the folding fan in her hand, walked into the courtyard and walked towards the inner hall. Hong Shao also shrugged and followed up and said: "Your Majesty, please have dinner for me. I will ask the kitchen to make some small dishes for you."
Is the food good?"
"No need, I've already had dinner!" Just as Mu Tianxue waved her fan to Hongshao and walked towards the bedroom with her head held high, before she even stepped into the bedroom, she heard a sound coming from the yard.
There was a lot of noise.
"Prince Liancheng, please wait, let me go and report." In the courtyard, Xie Yunlu stopped Liancheng, who was rushing straight to the inner hall angrily, and tried to persuade him.
"Yunlu, let him come in, and you go make tea." Mu Tianxue turned around and walked out of the yard. Liancheng came in a rage. She didn't need to make any guesses, it must have been for her unconscious sister.
"You guys are free and happy, and you are finally willing to come back." Liancheng sat down at the stone table aside, glanced at Mu Tianxue and said with a displeased look on his face.
"It's okay" Mu Tianxueyun dropped the two words lightly.
Then, he sat across from Liancheng with his legs crossed lazily. He was still wearing men's clothes, waving a fan lightly in his hand, looking like a handsome and handsome young man standing in the wind. Liancheng was completely dissatisfied with the unhappy look on his face.
Turn a blind eye.
"Tianxue, do you really hate Lianyue that much?" Seeing Mu Tianxue's lazy, leisurely look, Liancheng's heart suddenly surged with a ten-foot-high anger.
Today, he was too lazy to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, so he wandered around the city. He had no idea about the assassination at the banquet. If the secret guard who was secretly guarding Lianyue hadn't reported it, he might not have known about Lianyue's injury and what happened at the banquet.
"What did Prince Liancheng say? Why should I hate Concubine Chen?" Mu Tianxue glanced at Liancheng lightly and said with a sneer.
"If you don't hate her, why did you say those hurtful words to her at the banquet? Even if you don't like her, as a princess, is her life really so worthless and worthless?" Liancheng's eyes were full of anger,
The tone was even more unpleasant.
"Whether Concubine Chen is noble or not depends not only on her origin and status, but also on her own value." Mu Tianxue shook her fan casually and said, "Everyone has something to go.
No one else is allowed to interfere with her journey. It is well known that Princess Lianyue is of noble status.
However, in my eyes, her life is indeed not worth a penny. It is not that I despised her, but that she despised herself. She chose this road, and she encountered beautiful scenery on the way, or it was cruel. Regardless of her experience, she brought it upon herself. No one forced her to go on. She was the one who begged others to let her go on.
Then, no matter how bumpy the road is, she has to bear it by herself, unless she is willing to let it go. When she chooses to stay in the palace as a concubine, she should have thought about what kind of future she will face next.
What happened at the banquet, if I was really like her, I could have killed her with the help of an assassin. Why should I save her? If she was unwilling and felt aggrieved, she could only suffer by herself. How can a woman who doesn’t love herself get the love of others!”
"Mu Tianxue, I thought you were just cold-faced and kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that your heart is tougher than a rock!!!"
Liancheng stared at Mu Tianxue with his eyebrows furrowed, a look of disappointment on his face, as if he wanted to see through her heart to see if it was made of stone and why she was so cold-blooded.
"If you always think that I am kind-hearted, then you are totally wrong." Mu Tianxue teased him, took a sip of tea and said: "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Although, I did not treat Concubine Chen Treat them as enemies, but they are not friends either.”
She stood up, looked down at Liancheng, and continued: "Liancheng, have you ever truly loved someone? Do you know the possessiveness when you fall in love with someone?" Seeing Liancheng's confused look, she said, "Maybe you You don’t understand it now, but you will understand it one day!”
After the words fell, Mu Tianxue turned and left.
Liancheng frowned deeply and kept repeating the phrase "Have you never truly loved someone?" in his head.
Suddenly, another picture emerged in his mind, a beautiful face, a pair of pupils as clear as clear water, the soft touch on the lips, and the heartbeat in an instant, he thought of that woman again.
"Wait a minute -" He immediately called to Mu Tianxue who was leaving, feeling nervous for no reason. He actually felt that what he was going to ask next would be a bit difficult for him to say.
"What's the matter? If you want Yi to visit Concubine Chen, there's nothing I can do." Mu Tianxue stopped and looked back at Liancheng, raising an eyebrow and said, "If you want to know who the offended woman on the street is, I can directly Let me tell you, she is my sister, her name is Mu Wanting!"
"Mu, Wan, Ting," Liancheng lowered his blue eyes and muttered to himself, repeating, "Beauty Wanyue is drunk in Qingqiu, Tingting, the Narcissus, is confused. What a Wanting, such a gentle and beautiful woman, she is really human. Just like its name."
Seeing Liancheng talking to himself, Mu Tianxue smiled faintly, "Ting'er always wanted to thank you in person for giving up the medicine, but she didn't see you attending the banquet today.
But I never thought that the person I met on the street was you. She was simple-minded and thin-skinned. I was afraid that she was too shy to see you again. For giving up the medicine, I thanked you on her behalf!!"
"It's just a small thing, not enough to worry about." There was a faint smile on Liancheng's lips, and something strange flashed in his blue eyes. He turned and walked out of the yard. Before taking two steps, he stopped again, looked back at her, and said:
"You're right. Everyone has a path he wants to take, and no one else can participate. If Lian Yue chose this path, she should walk it alone!"
